Yea, and SA and Vice City are good, yet they're also discussed here in the thread. Your point?

Nobody talks about The Ballad of Gay Tony on here. It reminds me of The Devil Wears Prada meets The Sopranos. The nightclub vibe is underrated with working for the rich and extravagant.

I mean, we have talked about Chinatown Wars too so...why don't you restart the conversation with whatever it is you think we neglected before?

The boat mission with Gracie as well. I hate the boat physics in IV.
People still play that?

I like to watch videos where the ones buy old school vintage televisions to play GTA III on the PS2 with them. It’s pretty relaxing.

Funnily I hated boat driving in GTA V more than IV's and the latter I never had problems with. In V's case it's that mission where you have to blow up a train and steal some statue with a dick on it. It's more of the terrain there that gave me the issues, but at least Trevor shoots the mooks for you nicely there. Or if you don't want to bother driving the boat, just keep using Trevor and gun down enemies.
I hate aerial missions in the GTA series, I just can't get used to controls and mostly crash, and I still get uneasy with landing a heli but at least I can fly it easily on V and so far, there's no mission that requires you to use a heli to an extent like Yusuf's.
Planes are still a shaky ground but I gotta say it's fun doing the arms trafficking missions with it, especially bombing.

alot of faggots praise GTAIV for the physics which is incredibly retarded, it seems contrarian until you notice that the race missions are so fucking painful until you remember that to make a minimally decent damn curve you need to stop accelerating and press the handbrake rather than just good ol'braking like in the 3D era or even GTAV (inb4 skill issue a faggot might say even though it's true, unmodded GTA4's physics is utter fucking shit to a point they reworked it two times on the xpacs), other than that the open world aspect of it is nice considering you are in a better version of GTA3 city, i did feel that the narrative tries too hard to go for gloomy shit considering you literally come after madd dogg got a gold record in SA to jump into a old woes be me that niko pulls which isn't that central considering he only sounds PSTDish on a few missions and downright bloodthirsty when it's about his cousin or packie's sister, the whole thing with playboy's mentor is just so stupidly damn railroaded, you can't get to the guy, see him like shit then do a 180 to kill playboy instead or something similar with playboy only to be stabbed in the back by that snake, it's like niko keeps himself to a rep of a "good job done" he doesn't even have and isn't even trying to build.
mutie boy handles it better on GTA3 which is implied that as long as you are paying and doesn't double cross him he does not give a single flying fuck, if he can get revenge it's a bonus, they do go for something similar in TBoGT but focus on the relationship of luis and tony (while also making it about luis unfucking whatever tony is fucking up, getting deals/paid in the process) with a upbeat nightlife setting, in GTA5 the characters know they have things that make them inconsistent and it's something they blurt out loud in some missions to give background and explain why the writers couldn't be assed to offer other choices for the sake of storytelling.
and that's where chinatown wars get in because huang has a rep within the triads to keep if he wishes to keep his head where it is, i don't think cipriani applies though because he's already known as the guy you call when the mafia dons want to unfuck things.
also F for definitive tony, his appearance is more like the LCS even though that comes way after GTA3 which tries to be similar to GTA3 but for SA engine.
notice the eye spacing, eyebrow shape and ear shape differences as well as different colors on his blazer
even claude got a SA-styled makeup.
not forgetting TLaD btw which is okayish if you notice that the whole xpac is built around the bikers systems rather than the story about the biker dude, the betrayal of his biker gang and the curb his addict girl keeps going to, that's why every mission marker there takes forever to reach and the bike physics is reworked to be less shit but the bikes still handle like their tyres are made of fucking soap, beats the bouncy bikes in OG GTA4 by a mile though until you notice it's only the bikes that had a physics rework, the cars still drive like ass, then the retarded driving physics get a second rework on TBoGT again but you can only polish a turd so much that you can say it's a polished turd and that's it, it's still a turd.
vic is another character that is funny from a narrative perspective because lance does his best to take his ass for granted while fucking up royally, i shit you not it's a nice brothers story even though he feels the need to be a bigger man for his lil bro as well as how he was raised considering he takes pity on that girl and his daughter, predictably turning into a sort of romance to give him a rage moment once she dies since he's used to vance's antics and they couldn't use a rage moment in vance's case, revisiting VC but with new systems in place is one of the reasons i recommend Vice City Stories as well as being able to finally fucking swim without mods.

Most people only remember it for the fun as fuck drug dealing minigame and the high speed chases, destroying the cars were fun, its because of it that i modded my gta 4 to have drug dealing and roleplay that niko is supplying huang... wishes the gta 4 modding scene had more script mods, gta 5 hogs most of it and gta sa scripts are locked to gta samp

"SAMP". Now there's something that brings back a shitload of memories. Used to play on the SAMP server most frequented by SA goons back in the day. Heady stuff.
Turns out that circumventing Rockstar's sacred cash grab by haX0ring up your own digital dollars is the one deadly sin that'll get you banhammered.
Not oppressing entire sessions with the Oppressor (OG MKI FTW).
Not releasing cluster N-word bombs on unsuspecting sessiongoers.
Not exploiting the hell out of the Orbital Cannon, which shouldn't even fucking exist in Online.
Nope. I just wouldn't buy Shark Cards out of general principle and would rather toss a $20 to some slavs over in Gopnikland for a decent mod menu.
It's all about the money.
Boxed PC version, twice.

Yep. See it for yourself on Steam charts. The numbers are mostly for people who use FiveM instead the actual game, for obvious reason.

Your racing skills on GTA will be obsolete by the time you enter public matches. Cheaters infesting every available public matches like a plague. By exception FiveM racing servers, probably.

FiveM servers keep adding cheats to their "internal anticheat", it's still possible to cheat on it but it has less people doing it than online gta5.
on regular online matches you don't need much to win, just hope there isn't two friends racing that won't PIT you unless you are racing against a cheater that will use boosts or can increase the acceleration cap of the vehicles he is by 2%, making him faster than you.

I gave up on FiveM racing over someone being a raging faggot over vaguely-worded racing etiquette. Looks pretty neat on Broughy's channel, though. Speds who want clean, realistic racing should go hop on a Gran Turismo or Forza session.

This is why I always do a gentlemen's agreement even though it is unwritten; No purposely bumping into each other, small touches and accidents are allowed.. But once you purposely ram into me, the agreement is off and I will spin you out.

Obligatory honking of the horn to indicate friendliness. I'm finding that most people racing on older track and street race playlists like to play clean, it's stunt races that are cancerous. That update seriously ruined racing for a long time. You enjoy technical street tracks with wide varieties of turns and racing lines depending on your car? Too bad, you will now get a monotenous stunt race track any time you quick join racing series. Hope you enjoy full throttle straight lines with the occasional wide bend and 20 filthy casuals slipstreaming in to rear ending you. Fuck stunt races.
Related question, is racing on FiveM worth a try?

They've literally turned GTA Online into a Hot Wheels playground. The physics don't even work well with the loops and ramps.
Also, why give players tools to grief each other, yet punish people defending themselves from griefers? Make it make sense, R*.
